What next?

[Guest guest]

Sue,

I thought that it was so funny that my doctor was referring to it as

boobie burn also. I wonder if that is a description term that she will

keep? Too funny to hear a doctor say it.

Thank you Sweetie. I really do appreciate you and this group.

Goodness, Shirley - who would've thought boobie-burns could mean

anything else? My prayers are with you that all turns out well. I

had to have a stress test and a heart catheterization two years ago

and now have to have a f/u ultrasound on both breasts because of

enlarged lymphnodes and a lump that showed up in April, so I

understand what all you're going through......Doreen

Doreen,

Thank you for your prayers and concerns. We know that the risk are

higher for heart attacks but for some reason, it did not occur to me I

had anything wrong. I know if it had looked too wrong, no way would

she have let me come home. I feel so lucky to have this group pulling

for me.

Sweetie, I pray that you will be alright.

Shirley,

That's great about your GP. I wish more physcians were of the same mold.

I hope the cardiololgist finds nothing serious. Try not to worry.

Not an MD
